Lets not get precious about a throwaway comment that was intended as a compliment. I am sure all freight turboprop pilots are extremely professional aviators who could doubltess wipe the floor with my limited loadsheet ability.
That said I have heard a lot of bar room stories from former freightdogs to be completely naive about some of the practices that exist in their specialist world. Big respect to them - knackered old aircraft with minimal instrumentation, little spare performance and flying into challenging airfields.
Flyergirl10 - you seem to be implying that 'the best' pilots will be the ones with the most experience. This is a facile line of debate thats been done to death here. The ace of the base can come from any background on any particular day. Including your 200hr boy wonder.
